CROSS REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/501,154 entitled SNOW AND SAND GOGGLE, filed on Jun. 24, 2011, the contents of which are expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

FIELD

The present disclosure generally relates to a goggle, and more specifically to a goggle with an increased peripheral vision and a mechanism for switching lenses.

BACKGROUND

Snow and sand goggles and their variations have been around for many years. There are many kinds of goggles used by skiers, snowboarders, motocross, and ATV riders to help their vision remain clear while they are in the process of their activities. Goggles have continued to evolve including new aesthetic and functional features. The standard goggle consists of a frame and a secured lens which is permanently attached to the frame. Recently, there have been some goggles developed which enable the user to replace the viewing lens. The current replaceable lens technology can be burdensome and difficult to manipulate, especially with a gloved hand while in the field, and typically requires the user to remove the glove and/or leave the field to change the lens. Additionally, the basic framework around the typical ski goggle creates a seal around the face but also results in a decreased peripheral viewing ability.

SUMMARY

The embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to new protective goggles, for example, sports goggles and snow and sand goggles, including a frame designed to increase the peripheral viewing abilities of the user and have sufficient support to enable a lens to be easily attached, detached, and reattached quickly and easily without substantial tactile resources.

In an illustrative embodiment, the lens technology disclosed herein is an application of lens to frame techniques which utilize a male system of coupling interfaces located on peripheral edges of the lens to adhere the lens to the frame via interaction of the male interfaces with female receivers located on the frame. In another illustrative embodiment, the lens technology utilizes magnetic coupling interfaces located on peripheral edges of the lens to adhere the lens to the frame via interaction of the magnetic coupling interfaces with corresponding magnetic coupling interfaces located on the frame.

In an illustrative embodiment, a goggle assembly and interchangeable lens assembly is disclosed herein. The interchangeable lens assembly includes a first lens having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, and a lens bracket having a first coupling surface and a second coupling surface opposite the first coupling surface. The first coupling surface of the lens bracket is coupled to the second surface of the first lens. The lens bracket also includes at least one connection portion disposed around at least a portion of a perimeter of the second coupling surface of the lens bracket.

The goggle assembly includes a goggle frame including a first side and a second side opposite the first side, and at least one coupling point disposed on the first side of the goggle frame. The at least one coupling point of the goggle frame is adapted to couple to the at least one connection portion on the lens bracket. In one embodiment, the at least one coupling point and the at least one connection portion are corresponding magnetic portions adapted to couple to each other by a magnetic interaction. In another embodiment, the at least one connection portion includes at least one protrusion, and the at least one coupling point includes at least one aperture adapted to receive and couple to the at least one protrusion.

These embodiments provide a frameless design aesthetic from a front view, and an increased peripheral viewing range for the user without the need to expand the size of the traditional frame material. Based on the frame and lens coupling designs disclosed herein the goggles provide an increased field of vision without increasing overall product size, and also provide an easier, more efficient user experience to interchange lenses.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Detailed embodiments of goggles, for example, sports goggles and snow and sand goggles, are disclosed herein, however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the goggles, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present disclosure.

In illustrative embodiments, enhanced view replaceable lens sports goggles that may be used for skiing, snowboarding, motocross, snowmobiling or any other sports where eye protection and visibility is important are disclosed herein. The enhanced view replaceable lens goggles provide an increased field of vision as compared to other goggles and thus have the ability to provide a greater level of protection in that a wearer or user may be able to identify hazards that the user may otherwise not have identified when wearing other goggles. Additional embodiments are related to lens assemblies that are easy to use and allow quick changing or replacing of the lens assemblies in the field. The lens assemblies allow the user to change out one lens for a more favorable or different lens based on the conditions at a location, or change out a broken, scratched, dirty or otherwise marred lens quickly and easily. This allows a user to quickly resume activities in a safe way.

An exploded view of a lens assembly according to an illustrative embodiment is described with reference to FIG. 1. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the lens assembly is an enhanced view double lens assembly 110 adapted to be coupled, in a removable manner, to a frame 210 (illustrated in FIG. 8) associated with a goggle assembly 200 (illustrated in FIG. 8). The lens assembly 110 includes a first lens or an outer lens 120, a lens bracket 130, a second lens or an inner lens 150 and an outer lens/inner lens spacing apparatus or spacer 140. The outer lens 120 includes a first surface or an outer surface 122 which may be exposed to the atmosphere or ambient elements, and a second surface or an inner surface 124 opposite the outer surface 122 which interfaces with the lens bracket 130. The outer lens 120 may also include one or more venting apertures 126 which extend from the outer surface 122 to the inner surface 124 and may be disposed or located in various locations on the outer lens 120. In the illustrative embodiment of FIG. 1, the one or more venting apertures 126 are located in a top portion of the outer lens 120.

The lens bracket 130 is coupled or attached to the inner surface 124 of the outer lens 120, for example, by a hot melt adhesive, or other coupling means of the type. In an illustrative embodiment, the lens bracket 130 is disposed on one or more peripheral edges of the inner surface 124 of the outer lens 120. The lens bracket 130 is also designed and shaped to frame around the one or more peripheral edges (top, bottom, and sides) of the inner surface 124 of the outer lens 120 minimizing the amount of the lens bracket 130 occluding a user's field of vision through the outer lens 120 when compared to enclosing the lens within a frame. This lens bracket 130 design provides the user with an enhanced visual field of view, including an increased peripheral viewing range, through the outer lens 120. The coupling or attaching of the lens bracket 130 to the inner surface 124 of the outer lens 120 also reduces the profile of the lens assembly 110 and the amount of material used when compared to enclosing the lens within a frame, and provides for a frameless design aesthetic. The lens bracket 130 has a first coupling surface or an outer lens coupling surface 132 and a second coupling surface or a goggle coupling surface 134 opposite the outer lens coupling surface 132. The outer lens coupling surface 132 couples to the inner surface 124 of the outer lens 120.

Additionally, in some embodiments the lens bracket 130 may include one or more venting aperture brackets 138 integrated into the lens bracket 130. The one or more venting aperture brackets 138 form one or more bracket venting spaces 139 around at least a portion of the one or more venting apertures 126. A lens vent foam or absorptive material 137 may be placed within the one or more bracket venting spaces 139.

The lens bracket 130 may also include one or more first connection portions and one or more second connections portions adapted to mate with one or more first coupling points and one or more second coupling points, respectively, on the goggle frame 210 (for example, illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 24). In this illustrative embodiment, the one or more first connection portions include one or more first protrusions 135 and the one or more second connection portions include one or more second protrusions 136 disposed or located on the goggle coupling surface 134. The one or more first protrusions 135 and the one or more second protrusions 136 are adapted to mate with the one or more first coupling points, for example, one or more first coupling apertures 235, and the one or more second coupling points, for example, one or more second coupling points 236, respectively, (for example, illustrated in FIG. 8) on the goggle frame 210 (for example, illustrated in FIG. 8). The first protrusion(s) 135 is centrally located at a nose area and serves as a nose orientation post and the one or more second protrusions 136 are located around at least a portion of a perimeter of the lens bracket 130 (for example, in the brow area as illustrated in FIGS. 6 and 7).

The spacing apparatus or spacer 140 of the lens assembly 110 couples to the inner surface 124 of the outer lens 120, for example, using an adhesive or other coupling means of the type. In an illustrative embodiment, the spacing apparatus 140 may be a foam tape or other structurally pliable material. The spacing apparatus 140 includes an outer lens coupling surface 142 and an inner lens coupling surface 144 opposite the outer lens coupling surface 142, and two sections including a first spacing section or an upper spacing section 145 and a second spacing section or a lower spacing section 146. The thickness of the spacing apparatus 140 may be about the same as the thickness of the lens bracket 130, allowing the inner lens 150 to couple to the inner lens coupling surface 144 of the spacing apparatus 140 and to smoothly extend over portions of the lens bracket 130 without creating substantial ridges or protrusions.

The outer lens coupling surface 142 is attached or coupled to the inner surface 124 of the outer lens 120, and may be disposed adjacent to or abutting the lens bracket 130. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the upper spacing section 145 extends from about midway up a side perimeter of the outer lens 120 and along at least a portion of a top perimeter of the outer lens 120. In embodiments where the lens bracket 130 does not include a venting aperture bracket 138 integrated into the lens bracket 130, the upper spacing section 145 may be shaped to allow the upper spacing section 145 to substantially abut the lens bracket 130, except at a top portion where the upper spacing section 145 may be shaped to form a venting bracket (not shown) which brackets a venting space similar to the venting space 139 around at least a portion of the venting apertures 126. A lens vent foam or absorptive material 137 may also be placed within the bracket venting space.

Similar to the upper spacing section 145, the outer lens coupling surface 142 of the lower spacing section 146 is attached or coupled to the inner surface 124 of the outer lens 120, and may be disposed adjacent to or abutting the lens bracket 130. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the lower spacing section 146 extends from about midway down the side perimeter of the outer lens 120 and along at least a portion of a bottom perimeter of the outer lens 120.

The lens assembly 110 also includes the inner lens 150 which may be smaller than the outer lens 120 and can be sized and shaped to reside within the periphery of the perimeter of the lens bracket 130. The inner lens 150 includes a first surface or a non-user surface 152 which attaches or couples to the spacing apparatus 140 at the inner lens coupling surface 144, for example, using an adhesive or other coupling means of the type, and a second surface or a user surface 154 which is the surface closest to the user's face. The peripheral edges of the non-user surface 154 attaches or couples to the inner lens coupling surface 144 of the spacing apparatus 140 mainly around a periphery of the inner lens 150, except at the top portion where the inner lens 150 includes one or more venting ridges 156 which at least partially extend over the bracket venting space 139 and aid in securing the lens vent foam or absorptive material 137 within the bracket venting space 139.

A first-side elevation view of the lens assembly 110 illustrating the outer surface 122 of the outer lens 120 is described with reference to FIG. 2. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the lens assembly 110 is illustrated as being substantially curvilinear. This substantially curvilinear shape of the lens assembly 110 allows the lens assembly 110 to wrap around at least a portion of the user's face to provide the user with an increased peripheral viewing range. Although, it should be appreciated that angled and flat shaped lenses may also be used. Some of the features illustrated in FIG. 2 include the outer surface 122 of the outer lens 120 and the one or more venting apertures 126 which extend from the outer surface 122 to the inner surface 124 (for example, illustrated in FIG. 1) of the outer lens 120. Although the venting apertures 126 are illustrated as circular in shape, the venting apertures 126 may be any geometric shape that allows the venting of air from the users face (not shown) to the surrounding atmosphere of a goggle assembly 200 (for example, illustrated in FIG. 8) allowing the lens assembly 110 to maintain a clear visual field.

A second-side elevation view of the lens assembly 110 illustrating a side of the lens assembly facing a user is described with reference to FIG. 3. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the lens bracket 130 is disposed around the perimeter of the lens assembly 110. The lens bracket 130 is designed and shaped to frame around the peripheral edges of the outer lens 120 allowing the visual field of view to be enhanced by maximizing a user's field of vision through the outer lens 120. The present view of the lens bracket 130 illustrates the goggle coupling surface 134 and the one or more venting aperture brackets 138. The one or more venting aperture brackets 138 bracket or form one or more bracket venting spaces 139 around at least a portion of the one or more venting apertures 126 (for example, illustrated in FIG. 2). The lens bracket 130 also includes the one or more first protrusions 135 and the one or more second protrusions 136 on the goggle coupling surface 134 which are adapted to mate with the one or more first coupling apertures 235 and the one or more second coupling apertures 236, respectively, (for example, illustrated in FIG. 8) on the goggle frame 210 (for example, illustrated in FIG. 8). As illustrated in FIG. 3, the spacing apparatus 140 is attached or coupled to the inner surface 124 of the outer lens 120 and disposed adjacent to the lens bracket 130.

The goggle assembly 200 also includes one or more goggle securing straps 250 which attach or couple to the goggle frame 210. Additionally, the goggle frame may include one or more frame venting apertures 226 on one or more of a top portion and a bottom portion of the goggle frame 210.

The lens side 211 of the goggle frame 210 may include the one or more first coupling points and the one or more second coupling points adapted to mate with the one or more first connection portions and one or more second connection portions, respectively, of the lens assembly 110 (for example, illustrated in FIGS. 1-7 and 23). In this embodiment, the one or more first coupling points include the one or more female mating first coupling apertures 235 and the one or more second coupling points include the one or more female mating second coupling apertures 236. The one or more female mating first coupling apertures 235 and the one or more female mating second coupling apertures 236 correspond to and are paired up with the one or more male mating first protrusions 135 and the one or more male mating second protrusions 136, respectively, (for example, illustrated in FIG. 3) of the lens assembly 110 (for example, illustrated in FIGS. 1-7) to couple the lens assembly 110 to the goggle frame 210. The first coupling aperture(s) 235 is located or positioned at a nose area of the goggle assembly 200 and serves as a nose orientation aperture designed to mate with the first protrusion(s) 135 (for example, illustrated in FIG. 3) of the lens assembly 110 (for example, illustrated in FIGS. 1-7). The one or more second coupling apertures 236 are located or positioned around a perimeter of the lens side 211 of the goggle frame 210 and are designed to mate with the one or more second protrusions 136 (for example, illustrated in FIG. 3) of the lens assembly 110 (for example, illustrated in FIGS. 1-7).
